We left Nashville on Sunday morning - pretty early. We made it to Syracuse, NE( 30 miles from Lincoln, NE ) by evening. Our longest day of this trip. We stayed at a wonderful off the road hotel and checked in just in time to miss a pretty bad thunderstorm with threats of tornadoes. On Monday we drove to Laramie, WY and stayed at our old faithful EconoLodge - this must make our 12th time to stay there. Of course, the next day was a long and monotonous ride for us along the south part of Wyoming - I-80. It goes on forever before we make our turn north on Highway 191. We ALWAYS stop in Farson for homemade ice cream - it's part of the experience. Then within a few miles we start viewing the wonderful snow capped mountain of the Wind River Mountain Range to the east and then the Bridger-Teton Mountain Range. Our trip ended in Driggs, Idaho and as we drove over the Teton pass outside of Jackson, we soon arrived at an elevation where we were level with the snow. Here are a few of the pictures we took once turning north toward Jackson, WY.
We arrived in Driggs, Idaho last night and enjoyed a refreshing nights sleep. After breakfast we walked around town - slowly acclimating to the elevation. The altitude here is very close to the elevation of Tower Fall - so far so good. We ate lunch at the Warbirds Cafe that sits off the runway of the airport in Driggs.
Our lunch was great. Bud's not a Warbird but a lean, mean Marine. LOL The Warbird Cafe was unique with a lot of memorabilia and an attached Museum of aircraft. It was a great way to enjoy the day and relax.
Tomorrow morning we get up early and make our 90 minute drive to West Yellowstone to sign in and pick up our uniforms. This time tomorrow - Lord willing - we will be in our little room, our home away from home. It will be good to get settled for the summer.
